Thank you for dropping your wisdom bombs on my thread @DonTesla, you can be sure much of this will influence my future grows.

From your "Things to note" comments, I have to admit I'm batting 0 for 3, but I am striving for 3/3...what do you consider a "small" pot? I guess you're telling me 10's are too small. I'm planning to upsize to 15's next round, still too small?

Thanks again for your contributions, both to my thread and this forum/site.

Well the good news is that going 3 for 3 isn't that hard! You just got to use 15 gal pots like you plan to.. 20 or 25 gal can be even better, especially if wheeled.. but 15 is a huge improvement on 5, 7 or 10.

As for castings, that can be started with the price it would cost to buy a couple bags, but you can eventually keep cropping more and more castings from that original investment..

and as for growing fungus, thats not too hard either!! just takes a little sprinkling of this or that, once you're mixed up .. if you time it right after your soil mixing, fungus can grow while your meals and minerals ferment and mellow in, and you can start your mix off with trillions of fresh microbes and tonnes of fungus too..

Then for babies, I just cut this soil down 50%.. or make seedling soil free of P.. put some aside.. then add P and flowering nutes to make "older plant" soil..

And thanks for the follow and the kind words, by the way! Happy to contribute everywhere I can!
